We systematically re-examine the extraction of the masses and couplings of the 1^{-+} hybrid, four-quark and molecule mesons from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR). To NLO for the perturbative and power corrections, the hybrid mass is…
Hadron spectroscopy has received revitalised interest due to the discovery of states with unexpected properties. Discussed are the recent findings at BABAR, CLEO, BELLE and BES. A detailed report is given on the many experiments reporting…
The SU(3)_flavor constituent quark model has been quite successful to explain the properties as well as the observed spectrum of mesons with pseudoscalar and vector quantum numbers. Many radial and orbital excitations of quark-antiquark…
Hybrid mesons consist of a quark-antiquark pair bound together by a gluonic field that is in an excited state. Measuring the spectrum of these states will provide valuable information on the gluonic degrees of freedom of QCD in the…
Hybrid mesons are exotic mesons in which the color field is not in its ground state. Their understanding deserves interest from a theoretical point of view, because it is intimately related to nonperturbative aspects of QCD. In this work,…
We apply the QCD sum rule method to study the light single-gluon hybrid states with various (exotic) quantum numbers. We construct twenty-four single-gluon hybrid currents, and use eighteen of them to calculate the masses of forty-four…
Meson spin splittings are examined within an effective Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian incorporating chiral symmetry and a transverse hyperfine interaction necessary for heavy quarks. For light and heavy quarkonium systems the…
We construct the B.S. equation for the hybrid mesons under instantaneous approximation. The kernel is chosen as the sum of an one-gluon exchange potential and a linear confining potential. The equations are solved by numerical method, and…
We calculate the coefficients of the dimension-8 quark and gluon condensates in the current-current correlator of $1^{-+}$ light hybrid current $g\bar{q}(x)\gamma_{\nu}iG_{\mu\nu}(x)q{(x)}$. With inclusion of these higher-power corrections…
The observation of the light hybrid candidate $\eta_1(1855)$ by the BESIII Collaboration brings great opportunities for advancing our knowledges about exotic hadrons in the light flavor sector. We show that this observation provides a…
We expose arguments concerning the \pi_{1}(1400) observed decaying into \eta\pi and claimed to be an exotic meson. We conclude that this object cannot be a qqbar-g hybrid meson.
We first derive the mass sum rules for the heavy hybrid mesons to obtain the binding energy and decay constants in the leading order of HQET. The pionic couplings between the lightest $1^{-+}$ hybrid $(Q\bar q g)$ and the lowest three heavy…
The quark/gluon content of eta(1295) and eta(1440) mesons is discussed, mesons being considered as members of the first radial excitation 2^1S_0 qqbar nonet. Recent results on eta(1295) and eta(1440) two-photon widths from L3 together with…
We investigate light hybrid mesons composed of a light quark-antiquark pair and two gluons within the framework of QCD sum rules. We focus on states with quantum numbers $J^{\mathrm{PC}} = 0^{++}, 0^{+-}, 0^{-+}, 0^{--}$ and…

We propose that the recently observed structure at 2175MeV by the Babar Collaboration is a $1^{--}$ strangeonium hybrid, and we investigate this interpretation from both the flux tube model and the constituent gluon model. The decay…
The constituent nature of candidate gluonic mesons can be studied by comparing their production in quark and gluon jets. The production rate for such mesons depends on the colour confinement processes at the end of the perturbative…
We compute the masses and decay widths of gluonia using QCD spectral sum rules and low-energy theorems. In the scalar sector, one finds a gluonium having a mass $M_G=(1.5\pm 0.2)$ GeV, which decays mainly into the $U(1)_A$ channels…
